    What did I do wrong?
    I grounded the lights.
    I sent the light power to the relay (87 pin).
    I sent the switch to the relay (86 pin).
    I grounded the relay (85 pin).
    I sent the relay (30 pin) to my powered aux fuse box.


    Am I missing something?
    Maybe, how do I make sure the fuse box works?

    What is connected to the other side of the switch? You said one side goes to the relay where does the other side go?

    Why not draw out what you have done so far, you just might answer your own question and/or we can show you where you went wrong.

    Also, my switch is just a basic switch, no illumination. Would it still be both posts to the + terminal?
